olyclimber Posted February 18, 2008 Author Share Posted February 18, 2008 Bug A devastating earthquake releases a horde of mutant cockroaches with the pesky ability to start fires. And that's not good news for a small, isolated California desert town that stands in the way of these creepy-crawlies. The whole mess begins to obsess a science professor (Bradford Dillman) to the point of madness. This ecological disaster flick, directed by Jeannot Szwarc, was legendary horror producer William Castle's final film. probably not the "bug" you're recommending though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couloir Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I second Gummo. It's definitely an acquired taste but good nonetheless. Something on the more emotional side, Antoine Fisher is excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couloir Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Also Crash the Paul Haggins version is really good. And this Crash from 1996 is good too. Although definitely a bit on the dark and twisted side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marylou Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Dirty Pretty Things, from Stephen Frears, my most favoritest director in the whole wide world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClimbingPanther Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 (edited) The Third Man - delightfully evil film noir classic Murder on the Orient Express - more evil you can't help but smile at Charade - any film with the line "You fell for her like an egg from a tall chicken!" is so worth a watch Edited February 19, 2008 by ClimbingPanther Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan_forester Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I thought "The Squid & the Whale" was great, but don't rent it if you don't like Bottle Rocket or Rushmore, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan_forester Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 also the recent Masterpiece Theater production of "Bleak House" with Gillian Anderson was awesome, I'm not kidding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayB Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 +2 on Harold and Maude. I remember seeing it in the theater when I was a kid. Brutal. Message and delivery were about as subtle as being strapped to a chair, the having the director roll a stage-amp from a Slayer show a couple of inches away before he starts shouting a four word summary of the message into the microphone over and over again until the bleeding out the ears requires medical attention..... "Triumph of the Will" has a light-touch by comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
